Pence Drops 2024 Presidential Bid; Rep. Dean Phillips to Challenge Biden for Democratic Nomination
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Former Vice President Mike Pence has dropped his long-shot bid to win
the Republican Party's nomination. Trump remains the front-runner in the
race, by far, even though he faces 91 felony counts across four criminal
indictments.

Meanwhile, Minnesota Congressmember Dean Phillips said Friday he will
challenge President Biden for the Democratic Party's nomination in 2024.
Phillips has made Biden's age a centerpiece of his campaign, saying, "I
think it's time for the new generation to rise."
